The name derives directly from the words grope (sexual touching), and **** (female genitalia). In the more prudish Victorian times the names were changed. On the somewhat prudish Sheffield Forum I still have to subtitute the offending word with four asterisks, but a quick searckh of Wikipedia will show an interesting scholarly article on the subject.

Anyone passing by Hagley might want to look up a wonderful place called Bell End. It's tragically a whole couple of miles from Lickey End. Aah...

Ahh yes. Germaine Greer did a piece about this on that programme that examines English words and their origins. I have a giggle each time I pass The Grapes pub in Burngreave. All places called Grope **** were changed to Grapes or Grape Stormy 10-08-2007, 17:22 Theres a place near Birmingham called Bell End |
